Bye.
Joke! Could I leave without a smattering of details?
No. No I could not.
We got the most adorable, mellow 9-week-old, purebred black Labrador puppy. Because what's another thing to take care of and clean up after and potty train? Bring it on.
We named her Jüssi (it's Swedish. Pronounced "you-see". We're just keeping in line with our European naming strategy for our kids, ja? Plus, I'm perpetually obsessed with all things Scandinavian.).
She is a super star. No accidents, great with the kids, my new best friend, Luke's new best friend, sleeps better than Isla.
The works.
The only problem so far is that Finn is a teensy bit unsure about her motives. He starts running, she starts chasing and it all just goes a bit pear-shaped from there.
"No Jüssi, nooooooooo"
"Its fine, Finn. She's just playing..."
"Noooooooo"
You get the idea.
They get better every day, though. Today they were practically chums. It was brilliant.
As for Isla, she loves chasing Jüssi and Jüssi just looks at me like, "Who is this bald, slow puppy? I'm gonna go lick her face and sit in her lap. Yeah."
Bonus? She's Luke's first ever dog.
How cute is that?
So cute.
But really truly, it's just like having another kid. Gotta keep her on a schedule, make sure she's fed at the right time and then I have to get up in the middle of the night for one reason or another.
Best part is that it's like having a kid you can dump outside whenever you want to. And lets face it, that's the best kind of kid to have, right?
With no further adieu...les pictures:
